The city has received feedback from residents in the area of the former site of the Mount Pearl Swimming Pool at 3 Stapleton Road. We acknowledge the concerns that you have brought forward and have taken action. The city recently completed an environmental assessment of the building and the area. Based on the findings and recommendations in the report, the city is preparing the building and surrounding area for remediation and demolition.

You can expect this work to commence later this fall. The city does not expect any service disruptions or any impact to residents during this time. Should there be any planned disruptions during the site work, your household will be contacted directly.

In line with the city’s long-term vision, this site will be prepared for future housing development. As a part of that process, the city has issued a notice of motion to re-zone the land to support new housing initiatives in line with our Strategic Plan to attract more young families, immigrants, and newcomers to our growing city.
